Community Art Exhibition Spaces
The Town of Gawler recognises that the Arts provide an opportunity for Council and the community to be engaged and collaborate for social change and growth, while having an ongoing positive contribution to the health and wellbeing of the community.
Provision of display space for the Exhibition of Art in multiple Council venues within foyers, communal areas, meeting or conference rooms and halls, allow for Community Art Exhibition. For this purpose, Council has a 'Gallery System' installed in some venues, a strong, flexible hanging system, which adapts quickly to changing needs within the appropriate venue. Some venues may also have display casing (or the ability to host 3D works) for exhibition of non-hanging items.
The designated, primary Art Exhibition Spaces for Community Art Exhibitions, in Council venues, are as follows:
| Exhibition Space | Hanging Space | Council Venue | Venue Address |
|---|---|---|---|
| Institute Hall | 44 linear metres | Gawler Civic Centre | First Floor, 89-91 Murray Street, Gawler |
| James Martin Room | 18 linear metres | Gawler Civic Centre | First Floor, 89-91 Murray Street, Gawler |
| Cafe | 10 linear metres | Gawler Civic Centre | Ground Floor, 89-91 Murray Street, Gawler |
| Atrium and Foyer | 21 linear metres | Gawler Administration Centre | Ground Floor, 43 High Street, Gawler East |
Our intention is to host more Community Art Exhibitions throughout the year in our flexible shared indoor spaces. So, if you're interested please complete an application to exhibit form or email: civic.centre@gawler.sa.gov.au.
Completed Application to Exhibit forms will be considered as an individual's or group's expression of interest, rather than a guarantee of exhibition.
Please refer to the Terms and Conditions documents for the full details around utilising and activating Council's Exhibition Spaces, prior to signing an application form.
Council staff will develop and manage an exhibition calendar which will plan the exhibition program for up to a 12 month period ahead at each venue. Council reserves the right to book the exhibition spaces to meet its own promotional and exhibition needs. Promotional support of Community Art Exhibitions at Council venues is also available.
